I just received my new Sigma and thought I'd create a spot for my shots and thoughts. My expectations were very high due to the excellent reviews this lens has received. I must admit, at first I was not happy. I have never had to fine-tune the auto focus on a lens and after extensive testing...

Anyone using this? I'm going to be doing shows soon and I think it will be a good idea. https://squareup.com/

Pete (Carolina Photo Guy) was visiting in a nearby town and I was able to get over to visit him and his lovely wife this morning. You might remember Pete had painted a rendition of my winning calendar photo which he presented to me today. The painting is fantastic and I gave him a copy of the...

Sigma has been on a roll lately with their new art series lenses. If this comes to pass, I may hold out on buying a 2.8 this year. Sigma rumored to announce a new 24-70mm f/2 OS HSM full frame lens next year | Photo Rumors

I'm debating between this lens and 2 others, one being the new Sigma 35mm 1.4. Yes they are completely different lenses. What I'm wondering is if any members here could post some shots from their Nikon 24-70, at 2.8 close focused to a subject so I could see what the out of focus elements would...

I thought I'd bring this up as some members are experimenting with it and I thought it would make a useful discussion. Tonemapping is not HDR (you cannot increase the dynamic range by manipulating a single image, that's another discussion), however it is an option in most HDR programs. I happen...

Maybe we'll see some price cuts or rebates! ​ After Nikon lowered their future full-year forecast, the company's stock plunged to its lowest level in 19 months:"The Tokyo-based company plummeted 14 percent to 1,726 yen in Tokyo trading, the lowest close since January 2012. The stock has lost 32...

​Monthly Assignment: Space and Night Photography This Month's assignment covers two topics closely related, Space and Night Photography. We've seen much more activity and interest in Space/Night Photography lately. This assignment pushes the envelope in light management and balance in the...

This was the end of an article about a man dying of pancreatic cancer and dancing with his daughter: "Each and every day, we have a choice,” Dr. Wolf said. “We have a choice to either love that person that's in front of us or not. It's the relationships that you build over the years that is the...

I haven't been on a bike in about 20 years and decided to pick up a new one and get back into it. I figured it would be another good form of exercise and a way to get around faster with my camera and gear. I enjoy hiking, but it would be nice to get around a bit quicker sometimes in places I...

I hit 4,000 shots recently and decided to do the first "wet" clean on my D600. I have in the past blown off the dust and done a bit of "dry" cleaning with a micro-fiber covered Q-tip. I purchased the Visible dust sensor cleaning kit which comes with 4 Fx sensor swabs and enough solution for...

I've had 3 people approach me this past month for weddings. I have in the past done them for friends of friends that can't afford a pro, or are just plain poor. Gets hard to say no. The problem is I have developed this good samaritan rep and I hate to let people down, or see people go without...

Looks like a nice lens for Dx! Wonder if they will come out with an Fx version, will be interesting to see some reviews and performance.

I've been looking for a decent point and shoot for "casual" stuff. I wanted a viewfinder, which are almost extinct. My other hopes were for a fast lens to hopefully be able to blur backgrounds which is very hard to do with mini sensors. Those and RAW shooting were important factors. The G15 fit...

I had a coupon from my dealer for a free weekend rental so I picked up this lens to see how well it performs. It gets pretty good reviews with a few issues I was concerned about. Softness at 70mm was noted and onion/distracting Bokeh. All of the shots I'm going to post are at f2.8, sole purpose...

The shot below is a finalist for our local TV station's 2014 Weather Calendar out of over 1,000 others. If you could give me a vote under the December page I'd appreciate it! Not for money, but free advertising is great! Link: Vote for the 2014 Storm Team Weather Calendar photos - NewsChannel...

I figured I would pose the following question here since this site is full of brilliant "techy" people. I recently bought a great little music system, a Sony "Personal Audio System" (RDP-XF300iPN). It has an Ipod dock, Radio, Bluetooth, audio input and a great speaker system, this thing sounds...
